Description: Destroyer Squadron 21 “Solomons Onward” “The Rampant Lions of Destroyer Squadron ( DESRON ) 21” Nautical chart art print of Destroyer Squadron 21 from an original watercolor painting on a Solomons Island nautical chart by the Artist, William B. MacGregor Jr. ---------------------------------------------------------- A destroyer squadron is a naval squadron usually consisting of destroyer ships. Destroyer Squadron Twenty One's proud history began in March 1943 when the first ships of the new Fletcher class were deployed to Guadalcanal in the Pacific Ocean's Solomon Island as part of Admiral Halsey's Third Fleet. During the war years the ships of Squadron 21 left a legacy of courage and fighting skill. In Dec 1945 Destroyer Squadron Twenty-One was inactivated but in January 1946 was reformed into Destroyer squadron 18 until 1954. Since then the Rampant Lions of Squadron 21 have performed significant duties in Pacific Fleet operations. My painting features an Arleigh-Burke Class Destroyer and the WW2 USS Nicholas (flagship) DD-449. She was a Fletcher class destroyer and proudly served for 27 years. Also, the print depicts the area of naval battles that occurred in the Solomon Islands.  Historic painting of Destroyer Squadron 21 on a Solomons Island nautical chart.  Free shipping (USA only) Art Print  Art print is printed on Canson Fine Art-Photo Rag Paper or equivalent.  Mounted in a Flag Blue mat with a hand drawn border.  Matted Art Print is ready for a standard 16”x20” or 11”x14” frame.  Mat will be signed by the artist.  Note: Mat size is the outside dimension.
